The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 173 The Destined Assassination
"As long as Latarn doesn't provoke me, I will definitely not have a conflict with him."

Marlenia's expression showed no sadness or joy.

As mentioned before, the conflict between her and Latarn was mainly due to Monger's conspiracy. However, because of the Battle of Ionia, both parties paid an extremely heavy price, so even if Monger died and the misunderstanding was resolved, the two of them would still be together. There is no possibility of reconciliation, otherwise there is no way to explain to the soldiers under my command.

Whether alive or dead.

The reason why she agreed to Li Ang's request was that she wanted to repay her kindness. Secondly, after all, she was the one who started the war. She was at fault first, so it was right for her to give in.

"When will we go specifically? Do I need to prepare in advance?"

Li Ang thought for a while and said: "It is enough for you to be present. The specific date is not yet certain, but it is estimated that it will not take a few days."

The fusion of black light and bloodline power has not yet been completed. Wouldn't it be nice to take advantage of this time to finish the messy trivial matters, such as burning the tree, and then return to the biological world in good health.

He also promised before that he would help Latarn get rid of the remaining red corruption on his body.

Everyone has put up a big rune as a deposit, so they can't break their promise.

One sheep is herding two sheep, and he can solve Marlenia's problem at the same time.

Li Ang was planning the follow-up schedule in his mind, when two Holy Tree Knights came over carrying the heavy Mongowen Holy Spear.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with this?" the leading knight asked.

Marlenia raised her chin towards the man beside her and said without thinking: "Give it to him."

After getting along with him for a long time, she discovered that Li Ang had a unique hobby and liked various weapons and equipment, or some weird gadgets.

For this reason, she specifically asked Finley to collect it privately and prepare to find time to give it to him.

"Thank you." Li Ang took the holy spear unceremoniously, waved it a few times, and felt that it was quite handy to use, so he put it into the equipment slot.

Marlenia watched the whole process with a faint smile on her face.

After the two Holy Tree Knights left, she asked: "You just said you didn't plan to return to the royal city with us, where are you going to go later?"

"Lienia." Li Ang looked at the Mongowen Temple that was about to fall into ruins.

Marlenia nodded: "Let me give you something else before I leave."

Li Ang turned around and said with a smile: "Why do you feel like you want to drive me away?"

"Your feeling is right." Marlenia admitted openly: "If you finish the matter at hand earlier, you can go to the top of the Giant Mountain one day earlier, and then I can help you."

"You are too kind to me. If I don't do something for you, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Li Ang thought that it was not certain who would help whom in the end, but he didn't miss anything on the surface and said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll set off right now."

As a result, Marlenia pulled him back again: "I told you I'd give you something, don't be so hasty."

As she spoke, she stretched out her palm, and a bright halo emerged from her palm.

The halo is wrapped with branches and green leaves, and there are countless butterflies surrounding the blooming scarlet flowers. The vertical part is like a sharp sword.

This object is the Great Rune of Valkyrie.

Upon seeing this, Li Ang quickly refused: "This thing is too expensive, I can't afford it."

However, Marlenia took his hand and clasped his palms together: "The lives of our brothers and sisters are much more valuable than a big rune."

Since she voluntarily gave up her ownership, Dalu En automatically integrated into Li Ang as soon as she came into contact with him.

Although Marlenia's big rune is not the center of the magic ring, it is the most sacred one among the magic ring fragments.

(We don’t know exactly why she is sacred. We haven’t found any relevant information. Maybe it has something to do with her status as a god. She is the only god among the six fragmented monarchs, and her gold content is quite high.)

The effect is to recover the lost blood volume by attacking the enemy after being injured.

When this big rune entered Li Ang's body, it quickly formed a whole with the other big runes, which meant that he had collected all the big runes with practical effects.

The remaining two and a half coins are used to complete the Golden Law. They are useless and do not need to be searched for.

"I won't say thank you. This big rune alone is enough to be worth everything I have done before. You don't have to think about repaying me."

Marlenia said perfunctorily: "Okay, you can go about your business. I know what to do."

Li Ang couldn't persuade her, so he had to give up: "Then I'll leave first and go to the royal city to find you in a few days."

After saying goodbye to the Valkyrie, he went to have a chat with Finlay before leaving the Mongwen Dynasty.

Return to Rodel through the portal opened by the Holy Tree Army, then fly over the Yatan Plateau, and enter Lienia along the Ansel River.

The journey was smooth and we arrived quickly.

Before approaching Lani's magic tower, Li Ang carefully shrank his size and maintained it at the same height as when they last met, to prevent the arrogant princess from losing her temper.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a while, the entrance to the magic tower has been sealed.

You don't need to think about it to know that Lani is definitely not here now.

So Li Ang diverted to the north shore of Lake Lienia to find the blacksmith Iggy. He probably knew about Lani's situation, and he happened to be able to ask about the pace of the gray-hound battle.

Probably because of his old age, the old mountain demon didn't like to move away. Even though the war between the royal family and Dujuan had ended long ago, he still stuck to his post and maintained the blacksmith shop that was used to hide from others.

"Hello, my old friend!"

Li Ang took the lead and fell from mid-air.

Iggy turned his attention away from the book in his hand and raised his head. His expression was unclear on his face covered by a mirror helmet.

"It turns out to be Your Excellency. It's great to meet you again. Old man, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

After speaking, he pointed to the pair of dark wings behind Li Ang: "What are you..."

Li Ang suddenly flashed his big wings: "Ah, you said this, you need to take medicine."

Monger is equivalent to his medicine, so there is nothing wrong with saying that.

After hearing this, the old mountain demon suddenly said seriously: "Don't take this medicine randomly, in case you eat it."

Li Ang interrupted him: "Don't worry, I'm measured."

"By the way, you just said you would wait for me for a long time. Did the war ash mosaic have any clues?"

The old mountain demon closed the book with a slight shame: "This is more difficult than I expected, but although I can't embed the war ashes on you, I have found someone who can walk the steps of a hound."

"Ask him to teach you, and the results should be similar, right?"

"Do you think you are satisfied with the result? Your Excellency Li Ang. If you are not satisfied, I will think of another way."

After all, it was a broken trust that caused Iggy's tone to sound a bit humble when he spoke.

"I'm satisfied, I'm so satisfied." Li Ang came up with the idea of ​​wearing war ashes on his body because he couldn't find anyone to learn from him: "You really helped me a lot!"

Iggy saw that he was satisfied, and he was also happy: "As long as you are satisfied, I was very worried about the old guy just now, hahaha!"

After ending his deafening heroic laughter, he asked:
"Do you have time? If possible I can take you to see him now."

Li Ang declined: "We will discuss this later. I came here to ask about the princess' situation and how far your plan has progressed."

He had been certified by Lani before and was one of her own. Coupled with the conspicuous dark moon ring on his hand, the old mountain demon had no need to hide it:

"Unfortunately, Your Excellency, Lady Lani has already embarked on a path that only she can walk a few days ago."

Li Ang thought to himself that he was probably too late: "What about the others?"

"Others" Iggy suddenly sighed: "Oh, what a troubled year. Servis disappeared inexplicably. Professor Miriam has been looking for his whereabouts for a while. Adura left with Lady Lani. Blaze was killed by me. I was imprisoned in a sealed prison, and now I am the only one left here."

The empty-nest old mountain demon looked lonely. Even though he had been prepared for it, he was the only one left in the lively small group in a blink of an eye, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Ang silently apologized to the kind-hearted Professor Miriam.

Servais' body should still be blessed and being studied by Sir Momochi.

I was thinking about whether to find a suitable reason to tell Iggy about his death, so as to save Miriam from doing useless work and come back early to accompany the empty-nest old demon, but then I suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation.

"There's no point hiding it, I've seen you all."

The old mountain demon was startled. After careful observation, he found nothing. However, he believed that Li Ang would not make a mistake, so he immediately looked around cautiously.

Lani and her followers have been doing treacherous things from beginning to end. There are far more enemies than imagined, and sooner or later there will be violent revenge.

Iggy and others were mentally prepared when they pledged their allegiance to her, and had already put life and death aside.

"I expected this day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. I'm starting to feel grateful that they are no longer here."

"While I am still alive, old man, I have something to ask of you."

"Lady Lani will be left in your care. Please be sure to accompany her until the last moment." While observing the surrounding environment, Li Ang smiled and joked: "Why do people start giving out their last words when they are still alive? Lani is still alive. It’s more appropriate to leave it to you old people to take care of me. I’m definitely not as attentive as you when I first arrived.”

"By the way, has the old gentleman checked on Blaze's condition in the past few days?"

Iggy didn't understand why he was asking Blaze at this juncture, but he still answered truthfully: "I went to see him this morning and everything was fine."

"Aren't you crazy or anything?" Li Ang asked.

Iggy replied firmly: "No."

Li Ang showed a clear look: "That's good, it's still too late."

Blaze is a shadow beast created by Two Fingers. Only when Two Fingers dies will he lose his mind and fall into madness.

And everything is normal, which means that Lani has not touched the two fingers yet.

"Come with me to the Moonlight Altar later, old gentleman. You have served the Supreme Will with two fingers for so many years without any harm. Why can't you do it? Our princess is not much worse than the Supreme Will."

The old mountain demon didn't know how to answer the question. Even though he was loyal to Lani, he never thought of equating her with the Supreme Will. Young people nowadays really dare to think so.

On the other side, the assassin hiding in the dark became furious when he saw the two chatting as if no one was around.

He knew there were enemies nearby, yet he dared to do this, and he obviously didn't take them seriously.

This is extremely arrogant, and the two of them must pay the price today!
It's just that after all, they are proficient in assassination and experienced professional assassins. They did not act rashly, but chose to continue to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

The assassins stood still, but Li Ang moved.

He suddenly stretched his hand into the void above his head, and the whirlpool-like red magic circle rotated rapidly, and then he grabbed a ball of blood as thick as oil and poured it forward. The blood flames spattered and burned fiercely.

In just a few seconds, the grass in front of him was burnt to black, and even the stones and gravel were melted into crystals by the high temperature.

The sacred prayers that originally belonged to the Blood King now have little to do with the Mother of Truth.

What was spilled was completely Li Ang's own blood, and it also carried some of the characteristics of the Black Light Dragon's Breath and the Gemir Volcano Spell. Not only was the temperature higher, but the contamination was as hard to get rid of as maggots on the tarsal bones.

"Not good, run away!"

The assassin leader noticed something was wrong and hurriedly issued a warning, but it was too late.

More and more blood drops suddenly fell like raindrops, which were hot, scorching, and extremely dangerous. The rising black and red flames soon covered everything around them, and a large area on the north shore of Lake Lienia was completely turned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

Many assassins were hit by blood beads before they could escape a safe distance. Their whole bodies turned into fireballs with a bang, and they died in agony amid extreme wails and torture.

"The plants here will grow very well next year because there is so much fertilizer."

Li Ang stared at the figures twisting crazily in the fire, and his two snake eyes became brighter and brighter under the light of the fire.

"." Blacksmith Iggy remained silent, his ears filled with screams one after another. If it weren't for the fact that the man in front of him was one of his own, he would have had the urge to run away.

The legendary flames that extinguished the giants were nothing more than that.

Civilization thrives on fire, but the fear of fire is also deeply embedded in our genes.

Because they were too close to the two of them, the assassin leader was spared. He looked at this purgatory-like scene infatuatedly, knowing that there was nothing he could do to save the situation. The operation failed at the beginning, but there was no word of giving up in their creed.

They had completed a task as difficult as the assassination of Crown Prince Godwin, not to mention that the current targets were only a dying mountain demon and a hybrid evil omen who liked to play with fire.

Because of his wings, Li Ang was recognized by the assassin as the son of evil omen.

"You're dead!" The assassin leader swore silently and silently walked around behind him.

Get rid of the more threatening ones first, and the remaining ones are the lambs to be slaughtered.

The leader had just experienced Li Ang's keen senses and knew very well that he had to fight quickly.

From a few meters away, he suddenly lunged forward, raised the strange black knife that snaked in his hand, and stabbed the target in the back with all his strength.

"Success?"

The process was so smooth that it was unbelievable. The leader did not dare to neglect and immediately released the terrifying power that resided on the black knife - the death of destiny.

Anyone who encounters it will die, even gods.

But the next second the leader noticed something strange, the feeling of the blade entering his body was wrong.

It's not like it's penetrated into the flesh, it's more like it's been penetrated into some kind of liquid,
In the end, the situation was exactly as he thought. With a crash, Li Ang's whole body scattered into a pool of blood and spilled to the ground.

"No, I've been fooled!"

Strike with one strike and never hesitate. This is also one of the creeds of the Black Knife Assassin, so the leader immediately jumped back to distance himself.

But as he moved, the pool of blood on the ground moved faster than him.

He was behind him in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, a towering figure slowly rose from the blood and grabbed the leader's throat.

"You don't really think that I can't see you, do you?"

Yin Hong's figure gradually transformed into Li Ang's appearance, and the leader who was lifted into the air by him was also invisibly broken, revealing his figure.

"As expected, it's you, Black Knife."

The Black Knife Assassin is a mysterious organization whose members are mostly women. They once had a cooperative relationship with Lani. The latter was responsible for planning and the former was responsible for execution, and finally successfully assassinated Godwin.

The destined death contained in his alien dagger was left over from that time.

They wear magical scales that make no sound, and are covered with a transparent invisibility cloak, which not only gives them the ability to be invisible, but also allows them to move without making any footsteps.

It can almost be said that the Black Knife Assassin was born for assassination.

Another point worth mentioning is that they and Queen Malika are a rare tribe in the border area.

"Malika sent you here? Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to be suspended in mid-air?"

"No, it should be said that sharing a body with the most disgusting person makes me feel even more disgusting."

"Why do you want to attack your former collaborator? Is it because you are afraid that the plot to assassinate your own son will be exposed and her image will be ruined among the people in the border area?"

Li Ang Balabala said a lot, which made the assassin leader dumbfounded.

Next to him, Iggy quickly covered his ears, as if his head would explode if he heard one more word.

On the contrary, Melina, who usually ignored everything, roared in his mind: "Shut up, Leon!"

It was rare to call her by her first name, so you can imagine how angry she was.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it." Li Ang put his hand to his mouth and made a zipper gesture.

As a result, he didn't last long, and he said again: "To be honest, I really like your clothes, and your body shape looks suitable. Why don't you give it to me?"

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your agreement."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a squeaking sound, and the assassin leader's head dropped weakly.

"You know the truth." Li Ang took off the leader's scales and cloak, and threw the body into the sea of ​​fire.

The method of destroying corpses and eradicating traces was so smooth and natural that even the old mountain monsters who had seen the world couldn't help but express their sincere admiration.

Among all the people he has seen, he is at least in the top three.

When Iggy came back to his senses, Li Ang had already put the black sword armor on his body and patted all parts of his body. It fit perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for him.

"I never thought I would wear women's clothing one day."

After saying that, he put on his invisibility hood and disappeared instantly.

Happy time for transparent people.

This armor is great, but Li Ang is a little uncomfortable with it.

Because when there is no sound in all your movements and there is no feedback to your hearing, you will feel like you are deaf for no reason.

"Let's go to the Moonlight Altar."

After saying that, Li Ang realized that the old mountain demon couldn't see him now, so he took off his hood and repeated what he just said.

------------

The cause of Iggy's death was another deep hole in the circle of magic. He died at the hands of the black knife, but the black and white flames of the god-skin noble remained on his body.

I originally preferred to have the wrong texture, otherwise there would be too many problems to explain.

But the game company refuses to change, so I’m not sure now.

　I'm a bit stuck today. I only have [-]. The missing [-] will be made up later~
